I recently went from Cakewalk to Sonar and upgraded to Win2K. I am currently using the WDM drivers from Win2K and NOT the Liveware WDM drivers (although, who knows, maybe I'll switch). I'm using
Under the new configuration, I now have an SBLiveUART MIDI device which seems to be taking the place of the MIDI synth that used to show up under the old regime. I never quite understood how it all shook out...Do I want to assign the SBLive UART to my Roland Keyboard or do I want to assign the SBLive A and B synths to the Roland and the UART device to Soundfont - or whatever.
In other words, is it better to assign one device or another to either Soundfonts or the Roland in Sonar?
One other question: A little far-fetched, but let's say I wanted to write my first symphony and have 32 MIDI channels of beauty streaming through the piece. Will I be able to get that with the Roland and Soundfonts. Can I actually access more than 16 MIDI channels on the Roland? My guess is a resounding "no" but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks,
